Having issues with your convertible top mechanism drive gears?

[lostinsuisse]

My '01 Boxster S top recently failed, but I haven't had time to diagnose the problem, so I can't take you up on your offer yet. I'll try to do the diagnosis soon and will get back to you if someone else hasn't stepped forward.

Do you have a time frame in mind for the review? Starting a week from now I'll be traveling until mid-July and wouldn't start the repair until then at the earliest.

Can't believe nobody has taken them on the offer. I understand that this is a common problem requiring replacement of the whole drive mechanism. This will potentially be a huge money saver for anyone with the problem. Somebody out there has got to have a top that does not work due to bad gears.
